What is silver and gold used for? Is there any thing that silver or gold can be used as money for?

David:
There are 100's of uses of gold and silver apart from coinage and jewelry. Google it for more info.

Jake No Chat:
Those precious metals can be used in various manufacturing processes, as well as jewelry and coinage. You will no longer see gold and silver coins in circulation, but coins are still mage with gold and silver for collectors.

It's used primarily for jewelry, but it also has commodity value in itself. You can trade it for money, but you can't spend it in it's bulk form.
